Treehouse Dragon Door

DIY Treehouse Door

Step 1: Gather Pieces

For this step we got various sizes of pine 1x's

Step 2: Stain the Wood

Here we stained just the outside frame of the door. we used 1x2 pine for the frame

Step 3: Countersink

We counter sunk holes for the screws that would hold the support on the back of the door and all around the edges to attach the frame, we attached all this with screws.

Step 4: Draw Your Design

Here we drew out a Dragon on one side of the door and King on the other side since that is my cousin's last name, whip we're building the treehouse for.

Step 5: Dremel

We then used a Dremel to etch in the design to give it a more 3D design.

Step 6: Stain

Here we started staining the lines made by the Dremel with a small paint brush.

Step 7: Sanding

After staining, we had to sand it all smooth to get rid of and parts where the stain bled through

Step 8: Finished Product

We added some blue paint to the eyes of the Dragon and finished with a clear poly to preserve it. then we attached it to the treehouse using self closing hinges.
